Great day out - Our trip was amazing, beautiful place and will definitely be back! The order of the day was great we did the walk first then beach and lunch for the rest of the day, the length of time doing each activity was spot on, lunch was great, and on board they throw in some extras with teas coffees fruit & cookies then on the way back they serve cheese biscuits olives and brownies which is good! Staff were very friendly and helpful, would recommend everyone doing the full day

Whitehaven and The Hill Inlet - This was amazing! I highly recommend this trip with Cruise Whitsundays. We did the full day. The staff are awesome! Even before we left, I emailed them and they responded quickly. Everyone was kind and helpful. We departed Hamilton Island and went to Whitehaven. This beach is so beautiful! We then took a boat ride out to the end of the beach to hike to The Hill Inlet. The hike was about 40 minutes. It was not strenuous. A nice nature hike before you get to the amazing view of The Hill Inlet. After we got back, had a great lunch of burgers and salads. Then just relaxed on Whitehaven. Bucket list day!!

What a day🤩 - Fantastic day from start to finish
Sea a bit rough but crew all geared up for that
Morning in the bay was just brilliant, lemon sharks, baby rays, soldier crabs and a great walk up through the estuary.
Tour guide (Paige) was super enthusiastic, a real live wire, had us all moving in the right places at the right time.
BBQ was really well organised and plenty of food for all. (Mind the seagulls!)
Bonus Iguanas on the beach fringes
Bought the drink package, probably worth it but not necessarily the alcohol option.
All the crew of the various vessels were great and ensured you felt safe on all the various transfers

Whitehaven Beach is spectacular. - Great day out despite the torrential rain. Guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. BBQ on the beach was excellent. Watch out for the seagulls; they are very fast and accurate at picking food off your plate or out of your hands!
We purchased the drinks package at $55 per person which advertised all day beer, wine, cider and soft drink. However wine was not allowed on the island. My wife does not drink beer and only received a very expensive small plastic glass of bubbles at 3:45pm. I have relayed my concerns about this but have yet to hear from Cruise Whitsundays.

Very average company - Hill inlet views and Whitehaven Beach were stunning. Cruise Whitsunday vessels were excellent. Enjoyed tea on board. We did not like the bbq lunch, burgers were cold, ran out of salad with just a few people through, nothing tasty. Feet can get soaked because transfer boats were used, needed to walk through water.. Company could better prepare people on footwear and advise what to wear rather than just what to bring. Not much info provided on whitehaven beach or hill inlet.

A Beautiful day , BUT . . . . . . - It was a nice day over all
Crew were so good and provided us with water , plenty of food and guidance.
But the downside was;
1- This is a multi-stop route to Whitehaven ( as they go from Airlie Beach to Day Dream Island drop off guests and pick up other guests , followed by another stop at Hamilton Island for drop off and pick up , then end up in Whitehaven) so the trip takes 2.5 hours each way ) - so total of 5 hours is wasted of your day
2- That boat can fit more than 150 people , so it was really crowded with people on top of each other ( everyone had a seat , but still too crowded in my opinion )
3- The indoor are was very smelly , I think the Carpet needs a good wash or replacement and the AC filters looks like they haven’t been replaced for years ( and showed errors on the LCD screen of the AC )
Considerings the $$ paid , I Would try to find a trip that goes directly to Whitehaven beach ( not the Multi-stop option ) -
